Those who have been following the forums and our IRC channel #renderfarm.fi on Freenode.net will know that we have users who are for unexplainable reasons unable to successfully upload sessions to our server using our wonderful integrated Uploader in Blender.

We have been investigating our logs a lot, tried many things, but still this remains as elusive as ever.

Now, we're determined to get it nailed and fixed, so I created a short video tutorial explaining how to create a net capture of a failing upload attempt. Please visit and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr4J-sTlAQ4 to learn how to get one for Renderfarm.fi. I've attached the video to this post for your convenience :)

We ask those who experience the annoying upload problem to generate a net capture and to send us the resulting file. We hope that this will shed more light on what is going on. All of our developers have been unable to reproduce the issue, so we need to go low-level. A net capture will be tremendously useful.

Send your capture files to nathan@letworyinteractive.com, don't forget to mention your userid or username.

A few minutes ago I uploaded a new version of the ORE Uploader script. You can find it attached to the ORE Uploader howto page, at the end.

Since we're in open beta now, everybody should be able to register and participate in the renderfarm.fi effort.

If you like the uploader script (and even if you don't ;), please consider joining my team.

Since we will have quite some visibility during Assembly 2009 in Helsinki, I won't be surprised if we see a nice influx of new users for donating CPU cycles to render sessions sent in by you and me. I'll be shortly presenting the ORE Uploader during the seminar on Saturday the 8th of August, starting at 13:00

Do try to get your friends along and have them interested in 3D animation with Blender!

Enjoy ORE Uploader and renderfarm.fi
